Local artists Gilbert Calleja, Jeni Caruana, Mario Sammut and Charmaine Zammit are exhibiting their works of art at the third art exhibition organised by APS Bank.

While addressing guests at the launch, APS chairman Lino Delia said: “APS wanted to provide an opportunity through which artists could exhibit their work in a professional manner while allowing the public to appreciate such works of art and get toknow more about the artists themselves.

“We are proud to be able to contribute in this way to promote local talent. This exhibition, along with other APS initiatives, help in better communicating our talents, culture and, most of all, our identity.”

The exhibition features various works of art using different media such as acrylics, fired clay and watercolours. The four artists offer a taste of contemporary art, which also communicates their individual experience.

As with the previous editions, APS Bank also published a souvenir programme which provides a description of the works exhibited and their illustrations, as well as the artists’ biographies. The contributions featured in the publication, written by Louis Laganà and Romina Delia provide the reader with a broader look at figurative art, the depiction of the human body and contemporary art.

The exhibition is curated by Dr Laganà, a senior lecturer in fine art and art history at the Junior College, who also lectures on art, culture and tourism with the Institute For Tourism, Travel and Culture, University of Malta.

The public is invited to visit the exhibition at the APS Head office in Swatar between Monday and Friday (8.15am to 3.30pm) and on Saturday (8.15am to 11.30am) till December 5.
